Yaz BC Pill...

Original post by SeptBride70

Is anyone on Yaz?

If so, have you EVER experienced weight gain while on this pill or an increase in water weight??

Just curious because I recently switched and my Dr. assured me I would be fine with not gaining any weight from it- but I'm nervous so rather than worry myself I figured I would ask to put my mind at ease.

I'm just so worried because on the first pill I ever went on (I was 18) and it was OTC... I immediately gained like 10 pounds- it was CRAZY! So, I'm paranoid.

Thanks!!!!!!!

I actually posted on LIF...I hate this pill. And sorry to be a downer but 'BOOB' gain sounds good but it really isn't. Just think that a chemical is making your boobs grow. It's really not healthy, I read a whole article about it when I had problems with this pill.




I suffered a mini stroke 3 years ago, which they believe MAY have, as my 10th doctor put it, be realted to the BC that I was taking at that time. have not touched it since.



And you were on YAZ? I am so sorry that happened to you

I'm on it and I haven't seen any weight gain, just BOOB gain which i guess isn't all that bad

Oh how i would love the weight gain, especially in the BOOB area.

I like Yaz a lot, you lose a bit of water weight at first since it is a diuretic (although your body eventually regulates to it). I don't think my breasts have gotten bigger, but they have been tender since I started it, as someone else on here mentioned.

is the flow heavier on your period now that it doesn't last as long??

sorry if this is TMI lol



nope its the same flow but only for 2 days instead of 4.



OK I was having normal periods until this month. Still having cramping, hopefully that will lessen with time. I've been on Yaz since Jan or Feb so maybe I'm still adjusting.

As of right now I have had my period for 9 DAYS!!!


It started exactly a week early and it keeps going and going and going and going.

What the bleep?!?!?!?!!?

I have been on YAZ for almost a year now and I love it! My periods are only 2-3 days and the flow is not that heavy, I havent gained any weight(boobs or otherwise ) and it helps me not have as many cycle based migraines... which is why my doctor switched me onto it.... no problems here but each person is very different and the reactions can vary A LOT!!

not yet... I was waiting to see if it would stop because for the past 5 days it's been that 'end of the period' kind of flow, if you know what I mean....

I may call her either today or tomorrow... I started Yaz in February I think... maybe January... so I think maybe I'm still adjusting. This is the first time this has happened

It may be your also 'staining' too. I experienced that all throughout the 1st and 2nd month of using Yaz. Sorry I guess that was TMI,

Oh I'm staining alright.... I'll have to go to Gap Body and replenish soon... lol now there's TMI for you...

Actually I think I already had that happen the first couple months.... this is different I think. I started my period exactly a week before I'm supposed to according to the pills. And it's been going ever since, non-stop, just not as heavy as the first 4 days.
